James Dunne races LA Grand Prix
With Olympic champions Sha’Carri Richardson, Leslie Tebogo, Masai Russel, Cole Hocker and Tara Davis-Woodhall lining out you get an idea of the star-studded entry list competing at the 2026 LA Track Fest.
Tullamore Harriers James Dunne was also on the starting line in the City of Angels. James who is sponsored by New Balance was competing in the 1500m against a world class field including Ethan Stand from the United States and Ollie H***e of Australia.
James got out hard and went through the first 400m in 57 seconds. He kept pushing and passed 800m in 1:54. The Young Ballycommon athlete dug deep and was able to finish a creditable seventh. His time of 3:38.05 his second fastest ever over the distance and this early in the season a great sign.
